How to make a square bowl on a lathe.

[@89Albatross89]

Ronald, You MUST bring your photographer into one of your tutorials. She is a HOOT!!

[@89Albatross89]

BTW: I would rather watch your videos than go to the theater to watch a Hollywood movie. Watching your channel, I can laugh, while learning something valuable for my woodturning hobby! Keep up the valuable and entertaining videos!!!

[@ronaldkanne]

Thank you Roger! We will!

[@TurningStarkers]

Love the dialogue going on with the off camera audience. Really enjoyed the presentation and the result. Thanks for sharing

[@DustanBadovick]

Great Video. You bring common sense to turning, make it fun and enjoyable.

[@Faber_Nox]

Out of all the woodturning videos watched, I have to say that Ronald and his lovely cam girl bring a great sense of humour for my entertainment. Not to mention the unique approach to the craft.

[@zwedenful]

Thanks Will

[@StephanieElizabethMann]

That's a great bowl. And a very entertaining and enjoyable presentation.

[@ronaldkanne]

Well thank you!

[@richjones5432]

I just found your channel tonight & you bring a fresh approach which had me hooked from the start, so "I'll Be Back" ....... top marks to your camera "Person" & your dog looks as chilled out as mine.

[@music3078]

haha she's so funny love your explaning on the turning aswell. thank u

[@frankvanderwal4571]

Aha. So you turned the ARS into a square bowl! ARS? The Armpit Refreshment System! Thanks again Ronald & Lies. It is always fun to watch your videos and beside that, very educational as well! Take care, stay safe.

[@ronaldkanne]

no worries... I'm back to the deodorant... :-)

[@sandiekelley8513]

As we say when crocheting, it is the imperfections that show it is made by hand and not a robot. Great job.

[@ronaldkanne]

But if i had picked the right type of drill it would still have been handmade and looking better.. 😊

[@donaldadams5342]

What an interesting video & I love the end result. When you are sanding, you finish off with some 'pads'. I am wondering what they are exactly. Again I love your relaxed commentary & I love the banter that goes on between you & the lady doing the video work. It makes a great contribution to the end product. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@E.F.Woodturning]

Beautiful! I am so jealous sitting here with my mini lathe watching you with that massive lathe!

[@ronaldkanne]

But you can do this on a small lathe as well! :-)

[@E.F.Woodturning]

Well I will definitely try. I just worry that it will be too unstable and will knock my lathe off the table.

Hi, great video and not seen this done before, I'll give it a try, good to try somthing new. Just before watching this I had my dinner, tasted great with salt from salt shaker I turned from your design/video. Keep up the great work.

[@ronaldkanne]

@@williampeak8851 good to hear! 🙂

[@johnlivsey4146]

Full disclosure, I don't even own a lathe yet, but I'm hoping some of my machinist experience comes through. When you punched the center to drill for the screw you used a Brad tip drill bit. The Brad tip may have been off a bit as it was not fully engaged in the wood. Also the outside edge of the drill bit could cause some ' walking'. If using a Brad tip, I would use it to it's full Capacity and not punch a hole. Love your work. First time view. Thanks

[@gregjohnson8486]

Beautiful!! I gotta try that!! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽

[@DiemenDesign]

Very cool. I made a large square platter recently, took a lot of concentration and tool control to do the wings, but a great learning experience. Thanks for sharing Ronald.

Hi Ronald, just found and subscribed to your channel. What a refreshing approach you have to wood turning. Ideas are innovative and videos are informative. I'll certainly be copying this idea if that's OK. Thank you.

[@ronaldkanne]

Sure! Go ahead Bryan!

[@josephwise485]

I really enjoyed the video. Like others, I will have to try it. In the states, a lot of people will put a paper bag between the glue pieces for easy separation. Don't know if that would be good for you or not. I also subscribed to your channel.

[@zwedenful]

Thank you for subscribing Joseph!

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Joseph, a piece of paper will do the job as wel. You can spilt it wth a chisel then. I glued it up the day before so I knew for 100% sure that it would not split while turning. Because I have a bandsaw it is no problem for me to divide the piece in two but, more important, Lies is much of the time in the "wood flying zone" with her camera...

[@christopherharrison6724]

I believe your camera wife is digging a whole for herself,my wife also like IKEA I’ve lost all hope for her 😂

[@ronaldkanne]

Hahaha! No she's still here!

[@chrissekely]

I imagine it would be much more difficult to make it square on the inside as well (in the same sense as it is square on the outside). How would one even do that apart from using a cnc?

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

Hello, I think I just found a new turning channel to add to my favorites! Nice Robust lathe also. How to you like it?

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi David. Very happy with the Robust. Especially the tilt away, as i do a lot of hollowing...

[@JolienBrebels]

Hey Ronald, fijne video, ik heb ervan genoten! In het begin vroeg ik me serieus af hoe er daar een vierkant kommetje uit ging komen, maar het werd stilaan duidelijk :). Ik heb nu een draaibank en een slijpmachine, en enkele spindels gedraaid. Nu moet ik me enkel nog wagen aan het maken van een eerste kom, spannend! Waar heb je dat dingetje op je haakse slijper vandaan gehaald voor te schuren?

[@ronaldkanne]

Hoi Jolien, Leuk dat je ook gaat draaien! Logisch ook, al die auto's van je moeten natuurlijk wielen hebben! :-) Dat dingetje op mijn haakse BOORmachine (slijpmachine gaat te snel) verkoop ik zelf. zijn goedkope dingetjes, steunschijven. dehoutdraaierij.nl/shop/afwerken/schuurpads-met-klittenband/

[@cherylconoly3071]

I have learned lots from this video. I think part of the key is the long jaw calipers. Where did you get these from? Does the block of wood have to be a cube before turning?

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Cheryl, you can get these long calipers in a shop for forestry.... (They measure trees with it...)

[@cherylconoly3071]

Thank you for the information. I love the extra added conversation between you and your wife.

[@ronaldwitbooi2831]

Ronald, may I make a suggestion? Can't you drill a depth hole in the bowl first?

[@ronaldkanne]

@@ronaldwitbooi2831 yes you can of course. If i would make these in series i would do that for sure...

[@gbinder1971]

Hi. great workflow. Do you have experience with a paper glue up for this bowl? Is it strong enough that things not fly apparat?

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Gunther, yes. You can do this with the paper glue up methode as well... Grtz

[@depropst]

Hello Ronald, I love your videos. Very instructive and fun to watch. What is your "large thing"? Is a forestry caliper?

[@ronaldkanne]

Thank you David! It is a forestry caliper indeed..

[@depropst]

@@ronaldkanne I'm on a mission to make a set of these. I very rarely buy turning stock, but may have to as it would require kiln dried wood. I've found a shop on Etsy that sells 6x6x3 inch kiln dried blanks. And I ordered an inexpensive big thing!

Beautiful piece's. I got myself a lathe but nowhere to set up shop. We have a shop room in our building but the landlords won't let us use it. We all live on a budget and they're charging us for parking gardening and large items that we put in the huge garbage bin. So I am thinking that these so called christian landlords haven't figured out how much to charge for the use of the workshop. I got it because they were talking about opening it up and I wanted to start making walking sticks.

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Wilton, Thank you for sympathizing so deeply with my hairstyle. I immediately admit that combing my hair hasn't really been at the top of my priority list for the last 35 years. I clearly put less effort into it than, for example, making a video. In order not to test your peace of mind too much in the coming days, I can also report that 3 days after we recorded the video I went to the hairdresser again. The hair has been washed a number of times since, but unfortunately still not combed. Sorry... :-)
